Covering territory from Russia in the east to Germany and Austria in the west, The Routledge History of East Central Europe since 1700 explores the origins and evolution of modernity in this turbulent region. This book applies fresh critical approaches to major historical controversies and debates, expanding the study of a region that has experienced persistent and profound change and yet has long been dominated by narrowly nationalist interpretations.
Written by an international team of contributors that reflects the increasing globalization and pluralism of East Central European studies, chapters discuss key themes such as economic development, the relationship between religion and ethnicity, the intersection between culture and imperial, national, wartime, and revolutionary political agendas, migration, women’s and gender history, ideologies and political movements, the legacy of communism, and the ways in which various states in East Central Europe deployed and were formed by the politics of memory and commemoration. This book uses new methodologies in order to fundamentally reshape perspectives on the development of East Central Europe over the past three centuries.
Transnational and comparative in approach, this volume presents the latest research on the social, cultural, political and economic history of modern East Central Europe, providing an analytical and comprehensive overview for all students of this region.

"The Routledge History of East Central Europe offers a comprehensive, yet concise introduction to the history and historiography of the region, while also featuring some of the latest research and methodological innovation in the field. The book brings together an excellent team of historians from Europe and North America, representing some of the best recent work on the political, economic, gender, and cultural history of East Central Europe. Collectively, the diverse thematic chapters deliver a compelling narrative of three centuries of turbulent history in a region that was the epicenter of conflict between imperial and national forms of identification and governance. As the authors demonstrate through a full range of conceptual lenses, empire and nation themselves were historical artifacts, both shaped by and actively shaping economic, gender, political, demographic, and cultural history."
- Eagle Glassheim, University of British Columbia, Canada
"This impressive survey of the territory between German lands and those of Russia, including the Balkans, treats history and historiography. It is fully abreast of current scholarship and methodology, clearly written by a first-rate international team of contributors whose own research is evident, shows the region in all its complexities, and is well edited by Livezeanu (Univ. of Pittsburgh) and von Klimó (Catholic Univ.)."
-P. W. Knoll, University of Southern California
"The volume manages to convey and reflect on several of the dominant historiographic trends and key research findings in the English-language scholarship of recent decades, and it presents a rich, thoughtful, and accessible new history of a highly complex region over three centuries."
